Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreigners to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners’ knowledge of Chinese cuisine(烹饪).
But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations haven’t live up to public expectation（期望）. It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dish’s ingredients（配方）, the article notes. For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “stir-fried mutton slice with Chinese onion and green scallion(葱爆羊肉)”.
Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, it fails to describe the dish’s rich cultural meaning and charm(魅力). The dish’s beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang(佛跳墙)”, has a story behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only , but they can’t resist(忍住)the delicious dish. So they jump over the temple walls to get a taste of the dish.
The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful translations of the names of Chinese dishes. It also notes a more vivid(生动的) English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine.
小题1:Why do many restaurants provide English translations of their menu ?
| A．Because they want to show their ingredients in dishes. |
| B．Because the public expect them to do so. |
| C．Because Chinese dishes are popular. |
| D．Because it is convenient for foreigners to order food. |
| A．They are too long to remember. |
| B．Many of them are not correct. |
| C．They lack cultural meaning and attraction. |
| D．They are difficult to learn. |
| A．Monks can jump high. |
| B．Monks lived a poor life. |
| C．Old China had little meat for people. |
| D．The dish attracted many people because it’s delicious. |

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. "We were surprised by just how positive today"s young people seem to be about their families," said one member of the research team. "They"re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There"s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don"t want to rock the boat."
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. "My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. " I always tell them when I"m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I"m doing, they"re fine with it." Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. "Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I"d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that."
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, "Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over."

| A．resulted from changes in families |
| B．is common nowadays |
| C．may be a false belief |
| D．existed only in the 1960s |

| C．make family decisions |
| D．cause trouble in their families |
| A．care less about their children"s life |
| B．go to clubs more often with their children |
| C．give their children more freedom |
| D．are much stricter with their children |
Early in the 1990s, a group of Western-style buildings emerged at the Gubei New District in the southwestern part of the Hongqiao Development Zone in Shanghai. The Western-style buildings, marked by their great arches and the typical flavors of the unique European style, appealed to many foreigners and become their favorite choice when they came to live or work in Shanghai. Foreigners gathered in the zone, enjoying their quiet life there.
As the city further develops, more and more foreigners choose to live in the downtown area where most native Shanghai people live. They live close to local residents and gradually become interated(一体化)into the local life—they learn to cook local dishes, they learn to speak the Shanghai dialect and they celebrate traditional Chinese holidays together with native people. Their lifestyle is becoming more and more similar to that of local residents.
In the past, foreigners that came to Shanghai were mostly representatives(代表)sent to work in the city. Today, however, many foreigners that live in the city are students, business starters or ordinary people. Related information shows that there are more than 50,000 foreigners living and working in Shanghai.
小题1:Foreigners used to come to Shanghai to_____.
| A．start small cafés | B．help build houses |
| C．have a short visit | D．learn the Shanghai dialect |
| A．built | B．appeared | C．stood | D．lay |
| A．business starters | B．students | C．ordinary people | D．representatives |
| A．There are fewer foreigners in Beijing than in Shanghai. |
| B．It is the foreigners who make Shanghai an international city. |
| C．Many foreigners enjoy the traditional Chinese festivals. |
| D．The foreigners came to Shanghai to seek for money in the past. |
| A．Foreigners Settling in Shanghai | B．The Development of Shanghai |
| C．The Lifestyle of Shanghai People | D．Contributions of Foreigners in Shanghai |
People in the south sometimes do a strange type of fishing where they reach their arm inside a hole in the bank and pull out cat fish the size of a boat. There is one form called jug fishing where you get a milk jug or water jug and tie a heavy fishing line with a big hook, put on a small brim（容器的口）and throw it in the water. The next morning you get up and see what’s on the hook. There is fly fishing which is with a lighter string and top water jigs（滚钩）such as bugs that lay on the top of the water until the trout（鳟鱼）comes and takes it. It takes longer to reel them in because the line is so light and the fish are heavy.
Ice fishing is a dangerous kind of fishing in the north. You cut a hole in the ice, drop in your bait（诱饵）and wait for a fish to bite. You have to be careful that the fish doesn’t pull your line into the side of the ice and snap it. That is one problem with ice fishing but the fish are usually bigger and worth the trouble.
Going out on the lake with a couple of friends or alone with a couple of drinks and a fishing pole can be the most stress releasing thing you can do sometimes. Just to feel the waves rocking the boat and a good conversation is all the therapy you will need sometimes. Catching a fish is always a great bonus（奖励）.
小题1: The underlined word “therapeutic” may be replaced by ________.
| A．beneficial | B．caring | C．curable | D．healthy |
| A．Some characters about fishing |
| B．Some different fishing in the south |
| C．Three common fishing in America |
| D．People’s creative fishing in the north |
| A．Two | B．Three | C．Four | D．Five |
| A．Dropping in the bait several times |
| B．Waiting for the fish more patiently |
| C．Cutting a big enough hole on the ice |
| D．Taking care of the lines of their poles |
| A．it is a good way to harvest much fish from the rivers |
| B．it can help people have a good time with their friends |
| C．it can help people relax themselves to the fullest |
| D．it is a good way to exercise the strength of their arms |
No one had a ready answer, so Thales went on studying the earth around him, the sky and the stars. He saw so much water on earth and so much water falling from the sky as rain that he decided water must be the basic substance ( 物质 ) of the universe.
Other Greek thinkers became interested in this question. They suggested other answers. One said that because air lies around the earth, it must be air that makes up all things. Another said that fire, appearing in different forms, was the building block of the universe.
The Greek philosophers were feeling their way towards the ideas on which chemistry is based. Centuries later, scientists proved that the universe is made up of certain basic substances. But the list is much more complicated than the Greeks realized. We now know of 103 basic substances which we call “ elements ( 元素 )”.
小题1:Thales, the famous Greek philosopher, died when he was about _________.
| A．106 years old | B．94years old | C．64 years old | D．46 years old |
| A．Thales asked many questions | B．Greeks were all philosophers |
| C．science began long ago | D．water and air make up all things. |
| A．nothing ever changes in the universe |
| B．Thales decided that the basic substance of the universe was air |
| C．the universe is made up of four different substances |
| D．the early Greek thinkers did much valuable work for the progress of science |
Living with one parent instead of two can bring about a lot of emotions. These feelings can be pretty strong, and they can be confusing, too. You might feel terribly sad and angry because your parents divorced.
Single parents are often working parents because someone needs to earn money to buy food, clothing, and a place to live in. Having a job means your mom or dad is able to provide these things and more for you. People work for other reasons, too. A job can let a person use his or her special talents and skills. A job can be important because it helps people in the community.
But even though you might understand why your mom or dad has to work, sometimes it can be hard to accept. This can be especially true during the summer or school vacations. You’re home, they’re gone, and the days can seem really long.
It can be tough when you don’t have enough time with your dad or mom. When you live with one parent, that person really has to do the work of two people. Besides a job, your mom or dad is responsible for caring for the kids, the house, the yard, the car and the pets. So what can you do ?
One of the best ways is to hold a family meeting. Talk about everyone’s schedule for work, school, and activities. You can also talk about what jobs around the house need to be done every day. You might want to help your parent cook dinner sometimes. That can be both fun and helpful to your parent. Maybe you can also schedule a weekly game or a movie at night.
小题1:What are the main reasons for kids’ living with one parent?
| A．Separation and divorce. | B．A lot of emotions. |
| C．Working and caring for the kids. | D．Working parents. |
| A．Some kids live with one parent for the other’s death. |
| B．Living with one parent can cause a lot of emotions. |
| C．Working means a mom or dad is able to provide things for their kids. |
| D．Kids can also talk about what jobs in their school can be done at a family meeting. |
| A．the kid in the company of friends does want help |
| B．the kid who plays with both parents does need their love |
| C．the kid lacks both parents’ love does feel lonely |
| D．the kid who understands parents’ work does be helpful |
| A．Living with a single parent | B．Single parents and work |
| C．How to work with a single parent | D．Schedules for work |
